Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All platforms use the same core resolution logic based on official match results from HLTV.org, with consistent handling of edge cases like cancellations, postponements, and forfeits.Primary resolution logic: https://hltv.orgCore resolution logic:
- The match winner is determined by the team that wins the best-of-three series.
- If the match is canceled, postponed beyond the allowed window, or ends in a tie, all markets resolve to 50-50.
- Map-specific markets (e.g., Map 1 Winner, Map 1 Total Rounds) only resolve if the specified map is completed; otherwise, they resolve to 50-50.
- Handicap and total rounds markets are calculated based on the actual rounds played, including overtime, and require the relevant map to be completed.
- Postponements must be rescheduled within 14 calendar days of the original date; otherwise, all markets resolve to 50-50.
Edge cases & clarifications:
- Cancellations and Postponements: If the match is canceled or postponed beyond the allowed window, all markets resolve to 50-50, regardless of subsequent play.
- Forfeits and Walkovers: If a team wins due to forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover after the match begins, the market resolves to the winning team. If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover before play starts, the market resolves to 50-50.
- Map Completion: Map-specific markets only resolve based on the completed map's results; if a map is not played or not completed, the market resolves to 50-50.
Polymarket
This market refers to the Counter-Strike Round of 16 match between B8 and Spirit in the Esports World Cup Playoffs, initially scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. This market will resolve to "B8" if B8 win the match against Spirit. This market will resolve to "Spirit" if Spirit win the match against B8. If the match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 3, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played. If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins. If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence. In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.

If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.

Frequently asked questions
On Polymarket, this market reflects trader sentiment through decentralized odds that can diverge sharply from traditional sportsbook lines. Prediction markets often price in nuanced factors like recent team form and player injuries sooner than sportsbooks, potentially offering sharper or more volatile lines. The gap between the two can widen if new information emerges that impacts the playoff match.
